- Arab Ceramic Co. - Ceramica Remas is an Egypt-based public shareholding company engaged in the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of ceramic wall and floor tiles, porcelain products, and vitreous sanitary ware. Established in 1975 and headquartered in Giza, Egypt, the company operates within the building materials and industrial manufacturing sectors. Arab Ceramic Co. produces and commercializes a diverse portfolio of ceramic and bathroom solutions marketed primarily under the Ceramica Remas brand name, catering to residential, commercial, and institutional construction and renovation sectors.
The company's primary business activities are structured across two principal segments: Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles, and Sanitary Ware. Its core product offerings include ceramic floor tiles in various dimensions, surface textures, and finishes, including glazed, unglazed, polished, matte, and anti-slip tiles; ceramic wall tiles available in multiple formats, reliefs, and colors, complemented by decorative border tiles, listellos, and mosaic decors; vitrified porcelain tiles engineered for high-traffic indoor and outdoor architectural applications; and sanitary ware fixtures encompassing vitreous china water closets, pedestal and wall-hung washbasins, bidets, urinals, shower trays, acrylic bathtubs, and coordinated bathroom accessory sets. The company also provides custom architectural tile fabrication, technical surface specifications, and tailored design solutions for large-scale contracting and real estate development projects.
Arab Ceramic Co. serves the domestic Egyptian market through an extensive network of proprietary showrooms, independent distributors, authorized wholesale dealers, and direct commercial contracts with construction developers. Beyond Egypt, the company maintains active export operations across the Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe, targeting key regional markets such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Yemen, and Sudan.
In recent operational developments, Arab Ceramic Co. has implemented strategic measures to modernize manufacturing capabilities, improve cost efficiencies, and expand its export footprint. The company has upgraded its production lines with advanced digital inkjet printing machinery and automated sorting systems to enhance product design resolution and quality control. To address macroeconomic shifts and energy cost pressures, Arab Ceramic Co. has optimized kiln thermal efficiencies, restructured raw material sourcing protocols to increase local mineral utilization, and accelerated the launch of high-margin, large-format ceramic and porcelain collections tailored for export markets across the Gulf and Africa. Furthermore, the company has enhanced its working capital management and streamlined distribution channels to support liquidity and strengthen regional competitiveness.
